The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46).

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Cromwell Road is modelled from its 134 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LU3 1DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 1 Cromwell Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Cromwell Road was lodged in October 2009 at band F and expired in October 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records

Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 37 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LU3 1DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
